ronald reagan raised a gas tax in 1982 a nickel a gallon back when that was real money. seems to me one of the big differences in '86 versus now is we have two parties that were willing to make adjustments, raise taxes where necessary. they had some confidence going back and forth working together. there were no signed pledges that things were off the table. i wonder if you could just elaborate from your vantage point because you really didn't have a chance to elaborate on some of the give and take where it appeared from those of us on the outside that the president and the speaker were making progress before somebody's chain was yanked but if you want to talk about '86 versus today or the process, i would be -- i would welcome your thoughts. >> i do agree that it is going to be harder than '86 base in part because of the politics in the republican party and how that changed. i think that's interesting about '86 is ronald reagan designed and re formed a tax plan that resulted in a substantial increase in taxes on businesses in order to pay for a substantial tax cut on in
